After thousands of years living like this a great change happened in 1492 when Columbus discovered America . In the beginning it was small traffic to the American continent. But as Portugal and Spain began a massive conquest of Middle- and South- America, powerful contras as England , France and the Netherlands got interested in North-America and started their own conquest. These countries were sending out ships with crews who were tasked with building forts in this “new land”. As this crews there building the forts, the Indians helped them with food and the knowledge how to survive in this new land. The Indian’s way of thinking was that it could be an alliance between the European and the Natives Indian . This was of course before they knew how the white men thought and acted.
The first conflict of interest was the question of ownership of land. The Indians looked on land as something nobody could own or have rights on. Therefore the Indians were thinking that the Europeans were paying for nothing when they bought land from them. When these news of this “promised land of milk and honey” came to pore and overpopulated Europe , the reaction was explosive. And in the years that came, hundred thousand people travelled to the North-American continent for a brighter and better future.
As this European people came to North-America, the settlements needed more space to compensate with the always growing traffic of people. The only problem was that this area already was inhabited by a civilization. For many this maybe sounds as a mayor problem, but for the white men it was something that was in the way and had to be eliminated. For them the Indians was now more than animals and barbarians. This was done at any way possible. Stealing, lying, swindle land for bad goods, agreement who were cancelled then ever the white men wish something different and slaughtering of them who didn't surrender. This cost hundreds of Indians their life, and thousand hade to travel further in to the country. Here they met other tribes that already lived there and big conflicts accorded. This spitted the Indians for a time, but they put aside their problems for a fight against a common enemy; the white men.
